Other names for jumper&#8217;s knee can also be <strong> patellar tendinopathy <\/strong> and <strong> morbus osgood schlatter<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I know if I have jumper&#8217;s knee?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Characteristic of inflammation of the patellar tendon is pain that occurs under the kneecap. The pain gets worse when the tendon is overloaded, when a movement is too repetitive, and when the knee exceeds a 90-degree angle in a lunge and squat. Most often, inflammation of the patellar tendon begins to occur between the ages of 14 and 18 due to rapid growth. If the muscles around the knee have not been strengthened in the right way during this period, then the tendon must take over all the function and therefore is additionally strained.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cause of occurrence<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inflammation of the tendon occurs due to micro-ruptures and damage that occurs inside it. If left untreated, this condition can lead to a major injury such as a tendon rupture, which requires much longer rehabilitation. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Risk factors<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sports that require constant running and jumping such as gymnastics, volleyball, basketball, athletics, football&#8230;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Too much load on the patellar tendon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repetitive movements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rapid growth during puberty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chronic diseases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pain when going down stairs and climbing stairs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pain during lunges or squats.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pain after intense training.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swelling and redness below the knee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced range of motion in the knee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the treatment of inflammation of the patellar tendon, physical therapy and kinesitherapy are advised. Bed rest and ice can help by relieving pain, swelling, and redness, but it&#8217;s not a permanent solution. The first thing we do at the StretchWell Center is to determine the tolerance of the tendon itself, and based on that, we draw up a plan on how to progressively load the tendon in the right way. Progressive load is the most effective way for the tendon to recover so that you can return to daily activities and training at the end of recovery. The right dose of exercise is the key to recovering inflammation of any tendon, so come to us and together we will find the dose that is right for you!    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jumper&#8217;s knee is a term that refers to inflammation of the patellar tendon.
